Ancient Jomon genome sequence analysis sheds light on migration patterns of early East Asian populations

Takashi Gakuhari, Shigeki Nakagome et al. report the genomic analysis on a 2.5 kya individual from the ancient Jomon culture in present-day Japan. Phylogenetic analysis with comparison to other Eurasian sequences suggests early migration patterns in Asia and provides insight into the genetic affinities between peoples of the region.

Genetic legacy of ancient hunter-gatherer Jomon in Japanese populations

Using biobank data from over 250,000 participants, the authors present a detailed picture of regional and individual variation in the tripartite ancestral structure of modern Japanese populations and demonstrate its impact on elevated body mass index.

A time transect of exomes from a Native American population before and after European contact

A First Nation population declined after European contact, likely as a result of infectious disease. Here, researchers partner with indigenous communities to analyse ancient and modern Native American exomes, and find a shift in selection pressure on immune genes, correlated to European-borne epidemics.
